I have not used EDT so cannot compare the two, but I do have a question. Has anyone ever ported vi to VMS or written emacs macros to allow emacs to behave like vi?

Since GNU Emacs runs on VMS, a really twisted person could probably run what looks to him like vi on a VMS VAX. Or he could run an EDT emulator instead. By the way, I have also noticed that former EDT users get along better with Emacs than with vi, probably because EDT and Emacs both feel modeless, while vi isn't that way at all. -- Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@ohio-state.{arpa,csnet} or ...!cb{osgd,att}!osu-eddie!bob (614) 292 - 0915
